“So many people spend so much of their life energy ‘sweating the
small stuff’ that they completely lose touch with the magic and beauty
of life. When you commit to working towards this goal you will find
that you have far more energy to be kinder and gentler.”
“One of the major reasons so many of us remain hurried, frightened and
competitive, and continue to live life as if it were one giant emergency, is
our fear that if we were to become more peaceful and loving, we would
suddenly stop achieving our goals. We would become lazy and apathetic.
You can put this fear to rest by realizing that the opposite is true.
Fearful, frantic thinking takes an enormous amount of energy and drains
the creativity and motivation from our lives.”
